I saw them in use at the bivouacs on this year's Dakar. [url= http://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor-rapid-pitch-tent-784076?src=google ]SportsDirect[/url] are selling them for £29.99.

Any good for occasional bike/camp trips, or £29.99 wasted?

The Karrimor brand is now owned by Sports Direct so the name no longer guarantees a level of quality that it did a few years ago
